To me, the labor movement was never just a way of getting higher wages. What appealed to me was the spiritual side of a great cause that created fellowship. You wanted the girl or the man who worked beside you to be treated just as well as you were, and an injury to one was the concern of all.

Comrades,

Even with holiday breaks, other end-of-year events, work, coursework, and finals, your comrades are doing so much to build class consciousness and power in the East Bay. Just look at the next two weeks of awesome and invaluable chapter events (conveniently printed below) that we're juggling with department white elephants and way too much vegan baking:

We have thought-provoking political education events, like the 75th anniversary of the Oakland General Strike and Socialist Night School on the capitalist state; events that are great for new members, like the "How to Win the Holidays" training and social (or any other event you see with a 🌹rose emoji); and campaign and committee meetings, including the kickoff of our 2022 electoral field program.

We also really want to highlight the solidarity rally with ATU 192 this Saturday, bringing the months-long campaign for transit worker hazard pay to Oakland City Hall. And finally, the "How to Build a Tenant Union" workshop, rescheduled from Dec. 1 to Dec. 14: now is exactly the right time to think about organizing your building, and this workshop is the perfect place to learn how.

Solidarity!
Our cities need to take care of the workers who take care of us, who worked to keep us safe and our lives on-track during all the dangerous and difficult months of the pandemic. Join us this Saturday in front of Oakland City Hall to stand in solidarity with frontline transit workers and make their voices heard loud and clear. RSVP here!

DEMANDING HAZARD PAY, TRANSIT WORKERS FORCE AC TRANSIT TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE

All across California, frontline workers have demanded and won hazard pay during the pandemic, especially in grocery, retail and healthcare workplaces. Transit workers in the Bay Area, though, have not received one penny of extra compensation for continuing to work in life-threatening conditions. On July 28, over 40 AC Transit workers and riders spoke up at the AC Transit board meeting to demand transit workers be paid retroactive hazard pay.

🌹"WE CALLED IT A WORK HOLIDAY": THE 1946 OAKLAND GENERAL STRIKE

Friday, December 3 | 7–10 p.m.
East Bay Community Space 507 55th St, Oakland ♿️
Celebrate the 75th anniversary of the most recent city-wide general strike in American history! Nearly the entire working class of Oakland withheld their labor December 3 - 5, 1946, in support of striking women in downtown department stores, and in protest of police brutality on picket lines. The Oakland General Strike was the sixth and last city-wide general strike in the year after the end of World War II. What were its root causes? How was it organized? How did it turn out? Could something like it happen again?

EBDSA member Fred Glass teaches labor history at City College of San Francisco. He has written about the Oakland General Strike, made a film about it, and helped design the exhibit for the fiftieth anniversary at the Oakland Museum of California in 1996. In other words, he has been obsessed with it ever since he found out it happened and would like to share his obsession with you.

You must show a vaccination card at the door!

🌹DECEMBER 4TH RALLY TO DEMAND HAZARD PAY FOR FRONTLINE TRANSIT WORKERS

Saturday, December 4 | noon–2 p.m.
Frank Ogawa Plaza at Oakland City Hall ♿️
Throughout the pandemic, even as Covid-19 deaths soared, bus operators, mechanics, and other frontline transit workers reported to work every day, putting their lives on the line, keeping transit running so other Bay Area essential workers could get to their jobs at hospitals, grocery stores, and other critical destinations. Despite this -- no transit agency has recognized their sacrifices to keep the Bay Area moving. That’s why we are supporting union members at ATU 192 in their campaigns for hazard pay. It’s time for AC Transit to come to the table and meet their demands for hazard pay, justly compensating frontline transit workers for their risk and sacrifices. Join us at 12:00pm on December 4th, 2021 at Frank Ogawa Plaza in front of Oakland City Hall to stand in solidarity with frontline transit workers and make their voices heard loud and clear.

RSVP

Join East Bay DSA's Electoral Committee for a launch of our field program for the 2022 election cycle!

While our chapter hasn't endorsed any candidates or campaigns yet, rest assured that there are exciting class-struggle campaigns in the works. Regardless of who we endorse, we are going to need a strong field operation in 2022, to not only collect signatures and knock on doors but to have deep conversations with thousands of voters about working class power.

At this meeting, we will develop some preliminary plans regarding our field team, with the intention of building it into an over-hundred-person canvassing machine, and launch a pilot canvassing program to start testing out raps and building our skills as canvassers.

After the meeting, we'll gather at a bar for a drink and get to know our comrades!

Masks required. Proof of vaccination will be checked at the door.

SOCIALIST NIGHT SCHOOL: THE CAPITALIST STATE

Tuesday, December 7 | 6:30–8:30 p.m.

The political education committee presents a 3 part series on Jacobin's the ABCs of Capitalism! The three parts are Understanding Capitalism, Capitalism, and the State, and finally Capitalism and Class Struggle.

For this event, we'll be talking about “Capitalism and the State.” What is the relationship between capitalism and the state? Is the state a neutral body or is it inherently biased towards capital? (Hint: It's the latter.) And if it is biased towards capital, what can we as socialists do to counteract that bias? Join us to discuss these fundamental questions, and get to know your comrades in person!

SIGN UP TO TALK TO A MOBILIZER!
Are you a new DSA member? Or are you looking to get more involved with East Bay DSA's projects and campaigns? Sign up to talk to a mobilizer!

Here are three reasons to sign up to talk to a mobilizer:

  1. Meet a fellow socialist organizer
    We want to build a movement of millions of working class people and change the exploitative and oppressive system in which we live, but we do that first and foremost by building one-to-one connections with each other.
     
  2. Answer your questions
    Learn more about DSA, the local East Bay chapter, and our different committees and projects.
     
  3. Get more involved
    The main thing a mobilizer will help you with is getting more involved in DSA. Maybe there’s a campaign or project you’re particularly interested in, or maybe you’re a blank slate and you don’t really know what to do. Either way, a mobilizer will help you figure it out.
